The attack was successful, and Urahara exclaimed:
"Even Aizen became lax after gaining the power of the Hōgyoku. It is strange that you, who are so powerful, have become so careless now. It seems that the Hōgyoku has really changed you."
The current Aizen was indeed very strong, but he was a little unlike his old self, and not quite like a Shinigami anymore. Urahara knew that this was the price of gaining new power. Because of this, he had refused to use the Hōgyoku. Because he did not want to change, did not want to become something alien, and did not want the world to collapse.
Just as he sighed, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the place bombarded by the Thousand-Hand Bright Heaven Culling-Spear was empty. Aizen had disappeared.
Everyone, including Urahara, was shocked.
Then the next moment, Aizen, whose half face was covered by the white foreign matter, suddenly appeared behind Urahara, and turned his palm into a sword, swung his arm and cut him.
Looking at Urahara who was dodging, he said disdainfully: "Too slow!"
His palm cut the opponent's skin without any hindrance. Blood spurted out!
Urahara retreated, covering the wound, and exclaimed: "What... what!?"
Aizen did not pursue the victory, but said calmly: "Just as you said, I did relax, because there was no need to be serious. It's not that I couldn't dodge just now, but that I didn't need to dodge! Now you are no longer qualified to make me vigilant! Now my strength has become even stronger. Under the effect of the Hōgyoku, the high-intensity ability that was originally superior to all the captains has been enhanced again. Now even if I face a ninety-level Hadō, there is no need for me to dodge!"
He hadn't felt this sensation of getting stronger for a long time. It seemed that he had underestimated the strength of the Hōgyoku and his own potential. He could become even stronger, stronger than he expected, stronger than Uehara Shiroha, stronger than anyone else. This was the power of God!
Urahara said slowly: "You misunderstood! What I meant by carelessness is not that you didn't avoid my Hadō. But that you actually touched me twice. If it were the old you, you would never rashly attack without preparation. This is not your style!"
As he spoke, he activated the two traps he had set before. In an instant, a golden ring appeared on each of Aizen's wrists. A powerful reiatsu and tight spiritual particle chains burst out from the rings. Under the restraint of these two rings, Aizen's reiatsu had no way to be released, becoming compressed and expanded.
These were the two places Urahara had touched earlier. At that time, Aizen didn't care, nor did he need to care.
At this moment, Aizen seemed to realize something, looking at the golden ring on his wrist and said, "Could this be..."
"It's a seal!" Urahara lowered the brim of his green striped hat, his eyes becoming more profound: "The Shinigami releases reiatsu through the outlets at his wrists. I have sealed both of your reiatsu outlets. Since I cannot break your defense from the outside, I will do it from the inside. Now, you will be burned out from the inside by your own reiatsu!"
Aizen's reiatsu was indeed very strong, almost surpassing the limits of a Shinigami. Under the strengthening of the Hōgyoku, the opponent's reiatsu had been further enhanced. As a result, Aizen's abilities in all aspects had been greatly improved, including basic defensive abilities.
But in comparison, the opponent's body was still vulnerable. Once the huge reiatsu accumulated in the body, it would become a terrifying bomb that could blow the opponent to pieces.
Sure enough, under the impact of the endless reiatsu, Aizen screamed in pain. The dazzling white light completely enveloped his figure. It seemed that he was about to be blown to pieces by his own reiatsu.
...
In the Palace, seeing this horrific scene, Nel covered her eyes with her hands and peeked through the gaps between her fingers. This was too scary. The Grim Reaper was really terrifying!
"What about now?" This time, Yoruichi did not celebrate prematurely, but asked Uehara Shiroha.
Uehara Shiroha said without hesitation: "It's not time yet! Urahara's actions can only be said to help Aizen grow. However, this is also part of his plan. You wait and see, the best part is coming next!"
...
"Is it over?" Looking at Aizen who was completely covered by the intense light and explosion in the sky, Ichigo looked nervous.
Urahara, who had just landed, said helplessly: "It would be great if we could get rid of Aizen right now. However, Aizen is no ordinary monster now. I'm afraid this move can't hurt him at all! What a pity!"
When he spoke, he looked at Ichigo with an apologetic look in his eyes. Although he knew that Ichigo had his reasons for taking action, he felt guilty when he thought that the young man was going to sacrifice himself again.
